Hey RIllinois. Better make sure nobody finds out about Brinker's Marketimer recommendation in 1990 to buy Microsoft at split adjusted $4 calling it his tech stock for the nineties. That baby is now up over 2000% at over $84 for a grand slam home run pick. And make sure you keep quiet about Brinker's Marketimer buy recommendation on Vodafone at split adjusted $17. That beauty is now over $100 for a gain of over 500%. Just keep real quiet about these huge winners so you can continue to pretend Brinker cannot pick great stocks. That way you can at least continue in your personal delusion over this issue. What is your real problem anyway? Do you have a brain disorder? We would really like to know your real ailment. Your selective reasoning makes you sound like a real weirdo to put it mildly.

Pick your time period and you pick your results. Let's see how a long term investor (like an index buy and hold guy or gal like yourself) would have done in AMAT compared to investing in SPY. I rest my case: techstocks.com Looks like an index beater to me. You just don't get it. Never have and never will. Brinker has always been about PERSONAL CHOICE. He gives you alternatives and it is up to you, the individual investor, to choose. He gives individual stock choices because some people are interested in his opinion on the subject. The NBR format is for individual stocks. Have you ever seen a guy humping an index fund on that show? Nope. Moreover, Brinker can and does change his mind on a company between appearances on NBR. In fact, recently he said he had no position in AMAT. He has also said that he likes to trade in this sector. On the other hand, he has no problem with a pure indexer. He sees that as an excellent CHOICE. But there are other excellent CHOICES to investments as well and Brinker gives them and outlines the advantages and disadvantages to the different CHOICES. Rillinois new and improved Moneytalk show: "Hi, I am Bob Brinker and welcome to Moneytalk. No calls today. Buy an index fund and forget about it. See you next week." Yeah, right. Go ahead make that CHOICE to buy an index fund and forget about it. Don't forget who gave you that CHOICE. It was probably Brinker. And so you like that CHOICE better and you see no need for the other CHOICES. Good for you. So turn your damn radio off then or move on to Dr. Laura. Maybe she can help you with your other problems. We can't. We are not professional therapists. Looks like you need radio listener comprehension therapy as well. Hope your insurance picks up for this kind of treatment. Good luck. "No soup for you! Next!!!!"
